ON EST PETITS Poem by Claude Esteban

ON EST PETITS

On est petits, disais-tu, si petits que la mort
va nous oublier

comme tu parlais bien sur la lande, je finissais
par te croire, le fou

j'imaginais la mort comme une mère
qui nous accueille

et qui veut qu'on s'endorme enfin, mais
tu n'étais que le fou

tu confondais merveilleusement
les signes, moi

j'étais sur le bord du vide,
j'attendais.
